Back to School Lunch Inspiration

Back to School Lunch Inspiration

Back to school season is here! Get ready with these four delicious, and healthy lunch ideas using fresh and convenient ingredients from your Farm Fresh To You farm box. 

Back to School Lunch Inspiration

Tortilla Roll Ups

Veggie & cream cheese tortilla roll-ups are perfect for little hands, and offer endless ingredient combinations. We layered spinach, heirloom tomatoes and cucumbers and topped with a little salt & pepper. Pair them with crunchy carrot and zucchini sticks, cherry tomatoes and a Little Sesame’s hummus kids cup for a colorful meal. An assortment of cashews, pumpkin seeds and California almonds in this trail mix from Mt. Rosemary is perfect for some added protein. For a sweet treat, add a school-friendly Abe’s blueberry muffin, which is made without milk, eggs, nuts and soy, and is perfectly sized for a lunchbox. Complete the meal with a little cluster of juicy grapes, and an organic juice box from Uncle Matt’s.

The Classic PB&J 

You can't go wrong with a good 'ol PB&J sandwich. Use Dave’s Killer white bread, your favorite peanut or nut butter, and Kelly’s blueberry lemon preserves? Pack it all up in sustainable sandwich wraps and reusable snack bags from Bee's Wrap & Marley's Monsters. Kids will love a few slices of sweet watermelon and a snack-sized bag of crunchy Lesser Evil popcorn. Finish this delicious and nutritious lunch with a Siggi's drinkable yogurt and a few yogurt-covered raisins.

Breakfast for Lunch

Shake things up and pack breakfast for lunch! These tasty mini skewers are layered with waffles, nut butter and slices of banana. A side of crispy bacon, dried cranberries, a handful of fresh blueberries, and a Lifeway ProBugs kefir will keep them energized all afternoon.
